Week 7.1 tough.

[Snipe]

Completed week 7 run 1 today. Really tough with back pain from about 10 minutes in. Struggled through, but did not enjoy it. A real struggle.

Sorry to hear about your back pain Snipe. Hope it goes with some rest before run 2. I really struggled with W7R1 today too. Not in pain thankfully but the last few mins were slower than my usual walking pace - no way I could speed up at the end lol! Hope you feel better next run - good luck!

I was OK on Week 7 but am struggling with week 8. Mad isn't it? But come on, we'll get there! I've decided to take 2 days off before my next run!

The longer runs can really tax some of us. I found every single run a struggle and prayed often for it to end before I passed out or collapsed! I hope you are able to rest and the back is better for the next run. You are only racing against yourself, so remember you can always take an extra day or two to recover if you feel the need to. Wishing you well! Gayle

I got all the way through to running 30 mins TWICE and then lost it. Was it the pint of blood I donated or the flu jab kicking in .??? Who knows. All I know is I couldn't get through 10 minutes without a breather. Tried for 5 runs hoping for a return to form but no luck. Am now working back up through Week 6!!!!

Not giving up - still out there 3 times a week regardless. Good luck with the back Snipe and as gdeann says an extra day or two to rest it wouldn't be the end of the world

This frys my head.......... 7.1 was murder. Then 48 hours later, 7.2 was a breeze. No back pain, no problem.....go figure.
